LA Reid to be fired from Def Jam because of Shyne deal?

Bossip.com is reporting rumors that legendary Island Def Jam chairman and CEO LA Reid is about to be fired because of poor album sales for Rhianna’s R Rated album and a rumored $7,000,000 record deal with Shyne who recently resigned to the label [click here] after being released from jail.

Anyone got a job for Mr. Reid?

Shyne re-signs with Def Jam

Caesar — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 06:12:45 +0000

After a long bidding war and tons of rumors, Shyne has re-signed with his former label Def Jam for a reported 7 figure deal. He will begin recording his next album from London. Lets hope it sounds better than his track for DJ Khaled’s Victory album [click here], which has by the way now been removed from the final tracklist; probably because everyone agreed it was if not awful then just too weird.

Miss Info got the scoop on the deal:

Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Shyne Po has signed a 7-figure deal with Def Jam.

This ends a bidding war that had industry bigwigs vying for Shyne’s attention, flying to Belize, calling and courting, ever since the Brooklyn emcee was released from prison and deported to Belize back in October.

For Shyne to turn down hard-court pressure from Jimmy Iovine/Dr.Dre and others and instead join LA Reid back at his last known recording-residence actually seems like an inevitable move….because I’ve been hearing that Shyne has been pow-wowing with veteran manager Kyambo “HipHop” Joshua for a while now. Joshua and his HipHopSince1978 partners, Gee Roberson, also manage Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy and more. Meanwhile, my old friend Al Branch is both a partner in HipHopSince1978 and a high-level exec at Def Jam…see how that works? Synergy! Now there have been recent reports of new label-wide pressures, but with this team in place, Shyne is in good hands.

They still give out 7 figure deals?

This is terrible. What the fuck is wrong with Shyne’s voice? He sounds like all he did in jail was smoke cigarettes and then tried to do a Rick Ross impersonation.

Shyne to appear on DJ Khaled’s new album

Caesar — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:02:05 +0000

DJ Khaled caught up with Vibe to discuss his upcoming album, Victory, and it being Shyne’s first appearance since being released from jail.

I still don’t get how Khaled manages to get such star-studded features all the time.

Footage of Shyne in Belize

Heat — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 03:35:17 +0000

I know we’ve been reporting a lot on Shyne lately; but I personally think he deserves the respect to be left alone already. Po just got out of prison and was automatically deported back to Belize. The paparazzi and media in Belize just won’t give him that respect. Anyway, here’s footage of Shyne with family after jumping off the plane. Apparently Shyne changed his name to Moses Michael Levi.

Shynes arrives in Belize

Heat — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:01:10 +0000

Shyne arrived in Belize only to be greeted by the Paparazzi which he ignored. Po headed to the Princess Youth Royal Hotel to give a motivational speech to under privileged children that were beginning to head down the wrong path in their young lives.

The reason behind Shyne’s deportation in still unclear at this time. The only suggestion I can come up with is that Diddy had something to do with it. Spending nine years in prison is a long time for a crime that he may not have committed. If ya’ll missed the related news to this; [click here]. Below is a picture of Shyne with the kids at the hotel.

Shyne deported

Caesar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:03:46 +0000

Like we reported yesterday [click here], Shyne got deported to Belize today.

He was taken to the airport by 5 Immigration agents and is said to be picked up in Belize by his estranged father, Dean Barrow, the Prime Minister of the country.

The legal battle will now focus on trying to get Shyne a visa back into the US.

Shyne being deported tomorrow

Caesar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:35:51 +0000

It’s official. Shyne is being deported back to Belize tomorrow. Fuck. I guess there is still hope that Governor David Paterson will overturn the decision or allow him to return to the US after deportation, but it isn’t looking good right now.

Shyne still set to be deported

Caesar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:11:27 +0000

Even after fan outcry and public support, it looks like Shyne is still set to be deported to Belize when he is released from custody.

Miss Info got the scoop from Angine Martinez, who is close friends with ‘Po.

Today I was hanging out with my girl Angie Martinez on her show, and she told me she talked to Shyne and he wanted to share this update….

Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He has Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree advocating on his behalf in concert with his legal team. They’re still urging fans to reach out to Governor Patterson’s office to petition for Shyne’s pardon (click here for Paterson’s email and his address) but deportation is imminent.

And what about Shyne’s mental state? Angie says “Shyne is one of the strongest people I know and he’s handling this situation just as I’d expect him to. It must be frustrating for all of his friends and family; he served his time, and keeps getting all these different dates and conflicting information. But he’s a soldier, he’s dealing with it.”

Mase crashes show to have Diddy sign his release papers

Caesar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:31:00 +0000

You’re telling me that Diddy is so unavailable to Mase that he had to resort to crashing a Diddy radio interview just to have his release papers signed? Damn Puff you cold, I hope Dirty Money was paying attention! You gotta admit that’s a nice chess move by Mase though, and it’s good to see he hasn’t abandoned religion either, he signed himself just before Diddy signed the papers. Looks like Mase knows he needs all the help in this world (and beyond) when it comes to getting something out of Puff.

“I don’t even know how to take that, I’m not used to Puff doing good stuff.” Ouch.

Anyone down for a Mase and Shyne collaboration? Something tells me Diddy isn’t.

Shyne calls Diddy a liar

Caesar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:13:16 +0000

And it begins. Remember when Diddy was on the radio and said he had spoken to Shyne on the phone? Click here if you don’t. Well, Shyne has told Rolling Stone that the call is a “figment” of Diddy’s imagination.

I want it known that this supposed conversation is a figment of Sean Combss imagination,” he says in a statement. “He never spoke with me, he never visited me nor would I ever accept a phone call or visit from him. The only way I would do either of those things would be if he stepped up and did the right thing for the victims of the incident.

Po’ is still facing deportation.

Shyne freed and then deported?

Caesar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:26:17 +0000

First the good news; Shyne is being released today after serving 9 years.

The bad news? It looks like he will be deported back to Belize on Friday.

Damn.

Jay-Z to sign Shyne to Roc Nation

Caesar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:11:07 +0000

As we reported today, Shyne is being released October 6th [click here]. Teresa Dennis, one of the new staff joining the StreetHop.com writing team, has discovered that Jay-Z is interested in signing the former Bad Boy Records rapper to his new Roc Nation imprint.

According to sources, Jay-Z visited Shyne at Rykers Island last Friday. Things could be coming together rather well for Shyne, and he could be just the artist Jay-Z needs to certify Roc Nation as more than just another Roc-A-Fella.

More news as we get it.

Shyne free in October

Caesar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:54:23 +0000

Some really good news. Shyne is up for parole in October and he’s got a hearing tomorrow to see whether there will be any restrictions placed on him regarding his ability to pursue his recording career. But he will definitely be released October 6th after serving 8 and a half years of his 10 year sentence.

Basically the judge can either give him an easy parole of 1 and a half years, to complete the 10 years, or add a further 5 years on top of that and restrict his travel, which would make a rap career difficult.

Hopefully he can return to the music industry with as little restriction as possible in October.

Good luck Shyne!
